Profile:
One of the best utility cricketers to represent the country, Karsan
Ghavri rendered yeoman service to Indian cricket. He had a rather long
run up for a bowler of his pace but as a left arm bowler who could
bowl bowh medium pace or slow, he frequently troubled batsmen,
particularly with judicious use of a nippy bouncer. As a late order
batsman he was more than useful either holding one end up or going for
his strokes. Ghavri displayed his all round skills in his first Test
series against West Indies in 1974-75. He was rather unlucky to miss
the dual tour of New Zealand and West Indies the following season. He
was back in 1976-77 against New Zealand and England and was a regular
member of the team till 1981. He did pretty well in the three Tests in
Australia in 1977-78, scoring 64 in the only innings at Sydney and
taking seven wickets in the match in the final Test at Adelaide.
Ghavri's most successful series was against West Indies in
1978-79 when he took 27 wickets. The following season he
hit his highest Test score of 86, in the process sharing a
record eighth wicket stand of 127 with Syed Kirmani against
Australia at Bombay. In the series that followed against
Pakistan, he was at his fighting best when he got 45 not out
to rescue India from 69 for eight to 162 at Kanpur. Again in
the final Test at Calcutta, he scored 37 not out at a vital
stage to help India avoid defeat. On what proved to be his final
tour, he was still good enough to take five wickets for 107 in
Australia's only innings at Sydney and in the third and final
Test at Melbourne he gave India a vital breakthrough when he
dismissed Dyson and Greg Chappell with successive deliveries.
Ghavri, who first made his mark on the Indian schools team's
tour of Australia in 1968-69, also played in the 1975 and 1979
World Cup competitions. (Partab Ramchand)
